Chapter 2679: The Mighty Demonic Soul of Hao Zhou
ith spiritual roots If so, bring them back to Lingxiao Palace and take them as your disciple, raising them well. I can also give you this alchemy furnace." Zhang Yang's momentum suddenly deflated.>“W...The ethereal flying sword remained unyielding, neither dodging nor yielding. With a light and airy stroke, it slashed towards the shadowy form of the blood bat. The flying sword itself did not move much. Only a sword shadow shot straight into the sky. Wherever the sword shadow passed, it cleaved through the dark curtain of night, severing the moonlit water like a blade, landing right above the head of the blood bat's illusory form.
The blood bat's illusory shadow let out a sharp screech, its wings flapping frantically to dodge the towering sword shadow, but it was always unsuccessful.
The final unavoidable blood bat phantom Zhang pounced and clawed at Jian Ying, but it was slashed down by Jian Ying with a sword from the void. However, the blood bat phantom was also extremely ferocious, directly biting onto Jian Ying and falling to the ground together, smashing flat a peak thousands of feet high, and a bottomless pit appeared on the ground.
A low growl resonated within the pit, followed by a gradual return to silence.
At this time, Kou Jing had already escaped a considerable distance, but the blood bat phantom formed by his spellcasting was slashed apart by the mysterious flying sword behind him. Even so, Kou Jing still gasped in surprise. This was a forbidden technique he had cultivated for thousands of years and consumed countless lives from lower-ranking clans to perform. It was actually broken so easily by the other party.
Although this forbidden technique wasn't entirely useless, it at least bought him some time, giving him a chance to escape. Even if the opponent was a master swordsman, as long as he returned to his cave and relied on the foundation he had built over the years, plus the support of his clan, Kou Jing also had considerable confidence in self-preservation.
“Even with this late-stage demon’s cunning, he still has some tricks up his sleeve.” Lu Xia Tian’s lotus avatar transformed into a flying sword, breaking through the low-grade bat demons' resistance. Especially that blood bat phantom was truly fierce, delaying the lotus avatar for a considerable amount of time. For a late-stage monster like this, especially Kou Jing himself being a bat demon, his speed wasn't slow to begin with. This amount of time was enough for him to escape back to his lair.”
“Fellow cultivator, let’s call a truce now. We still have a chance to negotiate. If we wait until Lord Ji Yuan destroys Lu Xia Tian and arrives with his overwhelming power, how will you face the accusations of Lord Ji Yuan and the other powerful creatures like the tortoise demon”
Kou Jing returned to his cave dwelling at this time, his mind calm and collected. Countless low-grade demonic bats flew out of the cave, their eyes fixed on the flying sword before them.
"You better figure out how to protect yourself before you say anything else," the lotus avatar said nonchalantly.
"Under those circumstances just now, you couldn't even kill me. Now you think you can harm me It's a pipe dream." After repeated attempts at persuasion failed, Kou Jing felt anger rise within her heart, and she completely abandoned the idea of appeasing the other party.
At this time, if Kou Jing knew that this flying sword was actually Lu Xia Tian's lotus avatar in disguise, after playing the lute like this for so long, he would probably be furious and vomit blood.
Though angry, facing the imposing pressure from this mysterious flying sword, Kou Jing still dared not be the slightest careless.
Countless low-level demon bats swooped in a black, endless mass. Low-level monsters were nothing to fear without a powerful leader; they were simply scattered sand. However, besides Kou Jing, Lotus's avatar could also sense another Nascent Soul mid-stage and two Nascent Soul early-stage demon bats within this massive swarm.
Moreover, with Kou Jing personally overseeing the operation, they formed a formidable force. Even Lianhua's avatar had to treat them with caution.
“As long as I can hit the right spot, even the hardest turtle shell can be cracked. I originally just planned to kill you, but if you want to drag your entire clan down with you, then so be it.”
The lotus avatar's voice held little regret. Although most of these low-level demon bats were also forced to obey Kou Jing's orders, there was no malice in her tone. In this situation, with enemies facing each other, it could only be said that these low-level creatures were destined for this fate.
As the lotus avatar's voice fell, a blue-black bottle, about a foot tall, flew out. The surface of this blue-black bottle rippled with smoke and clouds, and within those swirling clouds, there was an indescribable aura of madness. Two magic talismans crisscrossed on top of the blue-black bottle, sealing its mouth to prevent the smoke inside from spilling out.
“Haowu demon soul smoke! How could such a demonic thing end up in your hands” From afar, through several layers of restrictions, In Kou Jing exclaimed in disbelief.
“You forgot how many combined old demons Lu Xiaitian killed on his last trip to the Demon Realm. It’s nothing strange that some demon artifacts fell into my hands. Using them inevitably harms heaven and earth. If you don't fight me with the power of your clan, I won't need these artifacts. If you just lie there and be cowardly, I will only have to break open your clan first and then take your head.” The lotus avatar’s voice carried a hint of provocation.
"Fart! Do you think I, the ruler of the Darkmoon Bat clan, can be swayed by your empty words Without my protection, how could the Darkmoon Bat clan have grown to its current size in the chaotic Demon Domain And without me, how could this clan survive in the demon domain surrounded by wolves, safeguarding its current vast inheritance!"
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
Upon hearing the Lotus's avatar speak with ill intent, Kou Jing retaliated with harsh words. In the void, lower-grade demon bats were surging in like a tsunami, crashing down upon them. Kou Jing had made up his mind to exhaust the Lotus's avatar's strength by making use of his clan's numbers. If there was an opportunity, Kou Jing wouldn't mind how many of his clan died as long as he survived; for him, as long as he lived, everything had hope. If he died, what difference would it make if these ants lived longer Whether the Haowu demonic soul was truly as fierce as rumored remained to be seen.
"Only when you see the coffin will you cry." Lu Xiaoteng was just making a casual remark, he didn't think that a few words could offset Kou Jing's years of rule over the clan.
At that moment, Lu Xia Tian shot a fingertip of mana at the magic talisman where the bottles intersected.

Suddenly, the two talismans vanished in a flash of black light. The demonic smoke that had been sealed inside erupted, surging like a tidal wave, roaring like an ocean tsunami.
The magic soul smoke of the Hao Zhou Demon Soul spread outwards at an astonishing speed. Inside, there were piercing, fierce roars, as well as mournful, tragic cries, all intertwined into a chaotic mess. Any low-rank demon bats or those with weaker strength who were affected were directly blinded by red eyes and frantically bit at their companions. Those with slightly stronger strength were still desperately struggling to resist, trying to counteract the influence of the Hao Zhou Demon Soul smoke on themselves. However, as they fought back, the weaker companions around them were unable to hold on any longer, and they were already charging wildly towards them.
Inner and outer troubles, even the more powerful demonic bats struggled to resist the invasion of magic smoke into their bodies. Meanwhile, their companions were swarming like wolves, attacking relentlessly. Distracted, the magic smoke eroded his insides faster.
Screams rose one after another, and more and more low-grade demon bats lost control, constantly biting their companions around them.
At this time, the bat horde was like an army that had broken camp. Once an army broke camp, its scale expanded, and even the commanding officer couldn't control it. Right now, even if Kou Jing wanted to control the situation, it would be difficult to do so. He must first pass the test of the lotus split-body.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!there's a sliver of possibility, we can't give up." Lu Xiaotian shook his head. Since he chose to suppress the ethereal sword embryo, how could Lu Xiaotian give up halfway If he could give up once, he...
